Showed this video to my father, he used to work there for 30 years. Recognized most of what you guys went to but you didn't go to the area he specifically worked. Though he did work in the livestock area and greenhouse area. The 'shower' machine was for spraying plants with insecticides. The animals they had over there weren't experimented on according to him. The campus you explored was bought out by BASF who then fired all the employees. The "W" wing you were in (west) was added near the end of the company, I think the spiral staircases as well.

I did some research on the robot thing at 17:33 and I found a news article from 1991 describing the exact installation at this facility. It turns out that it is something called a "zymate" which would conduct tests on samples and send data to a computer without human intervention. They used it because the samples were volatile and had to be handled extremely carefully.

To my opinion as a chemist these robot might more have been used, because pesticide research means a lot of analysis: Many parameters, many sample-preparation steps (complex matrix) and with human hands it is often not possible to do highly precise liquid handling. So with a robot you can handle smaller amounts of each sample. In a manual workflow you e.g. might need at least 0,1 mL to get precise results, where the robot might still handle 2 mikroliters with high precision. So less sample is needed. And also less consumables like extraction chemicals. That lowers the costs. And also robots are not sleeping at night. So you can do more experiments in the same time. "combinatorial chemistry": This means in basic words "bruteforce trial and error" 😂

Black Mesa certainly has changed a lot...

Most fuel sources and old products we use were developed many many years ago and didn’t have to go through the rigorous procedures that most products have gone through 1980 and up.

I work at a firm in NJ and we have been doing testing for the last 30 years to assist with environmental cleanups of American Cyanamid/American Home Products/Wyeth sites. Stay OUT of the Bound Brook and Bridgewater locations!!!! The industrial dye pits are horrendous. They are locking the chemicals up there by adding bentonite and cement to the wastewater lagoons to lock it in place and then surrounding the areas with bentonite & soil cement cut-off walls that go down over 40 feet to keep the stuff from going into the streams. The guy we worked for who was stationed onsite died of a rare blood disease. I would not go anywhere near these places, especially without air purifying respirators. You have no idea how well they cleaned stuff up before they left. Like walking through the insecticide sprayer...there is a better than average chance you will come to regret this one day.

Great videos guys. You can really feel the haunting vibes some of these places have.

I really don't know why I searched for this, but I love it. This places remembers me the "Old Aperture" Laboratories with the nature getting in

This feels like a mix between an "old aperture" map mixed with a CS everyone versus everyone map, with random scenes sprinkled in

The "strong magnetic field" room was for the nuclear magnetic resonance spectrometer used for elucidating the molecular structure of novel synthetic organic compounds. You can see a large diameter flexible grey exhaust duct hanging from the ceiling, which was likely used in the event that the NMR's superconducting niobium titanium electromagnet experienced an unexpected "quench" of the wire, thus converting the stored circulating current to heat and rapidly boiling off all the liquid helium cryogen it's immersed in into a large volume of helium gas, which obviously had to be conveyed out of doors, lest it otherwise present a risk of asphyxiation to the personnel presently in the room.

@@Kiz834 they're just very different tools. I wouldn't say any one has supplanted the other's use. In conjunction with gas or liquid chromatography and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, NMR and MS are incredibly powerful tools for molecular structure identification and reaction yield efficiency quantification.

OMG thank you... I have always wanted to know what it looked like years ago when they began to close and still had kept up the area and had the security at the front...

This building inspired a map for a roblox zombie survival game called Those Who Remain. Not all of the original building was remade and it was only recently abandoned in the game but I can see the parts they did take such as the glass corridors the canteen some of the labs etc

What worries me is the lack of PPE going through a place like that. Mold and no respirators, loose ceiling tiles and no hard hats, touching stuff without gloves.

Looks like the kind of place where we'd get jobs in a version of reality where there were jobs.

I used to work in facilities at a national laboratory . Those things that are sticking out are actually moveable fume hoods. We called them hogs. Basically, they could be placed right down next to something that a person was working on and would evacuate the fumes, versus putting the project into a standard fume hood.

Really cool to see all the glass still intact!

This was amazing to watch! This is where my parents met, my aunt and uncle met, and was always a crazy part of my history that I've never been able to see through their stories. Thank you for sharing, I showed both of my parents and it was a wonderful walk down memory lane for them.

30:00 It's funny you guys say that, it's actually worse when the greenhouses are in operation! Normally the lights are on, adding to the heat, and the humidity is ramped up high for the plant's benefit, and you're wearing disposable paper labcoats and other PPE items. You get hot and sweaty quickly, and to add insult to injury you are not meant to bring any kind of food or water into a greenhouse of that safety/contamination level. If you're working alone you've usually got to wear a little piece of kit that'll inform building security if you stop moving, in case you've collapsed!

It's As I sit here in an office watching, and think about these hallways and rooms being someone's day-to-day back then, it's as if I can feel the memories. So weird.

Glassed in box was for liquid automation. The silver armed “things” with red ends and elbows -are neg flow exhaust - extractors of fumes. After the glass hallway- office / labs- The lab was a vivarium. The coiled line dangling from the wall was the water line to the animal racks. Silver box you walked through was “cage wash” to clean - sterilize cages between use. Silver table on floor was large animal surgery table.
